The Problem: Youth Sports Loses 96% of Its Talent
Youth soccer runs the most expensive talent funnel in sport almost blindly — on video that doesn’t exist, judgement that isn’t shared, and records that leave when people do.

Invisible Talent: Why Video-Based Scouting Fails
Youth & grassroots are barely filmed, so video-based incumbents (Wyscout, Hudl) have nothing to work with.
→ Captures pitch-side observation and no video needed.
Birthday Bias: How Relative Age Effect Skews Selection
The relative-age effect skews selection ~90/10 toward early-born kids at age 6; late developers are lost for good.
→ Tracks development over time to catch the late bloomers.
Subjective Evaluation: The Need for a Shared Framework
Scouts (un)consciously rate older, bigger kids higher, with no shared framework to compare players fairly.
→ One shared framework for every player comparable.
Lost Knowledge: When Scouts Leave, Data Walks Out
Scouting still lives in notebooks, spreadsheets and PDFs, when a scout leaves, years of context leave too.
→ One owned database, a memory that compounds.
1,000,000+
registered players in Spain alone — and most are never systematically scouted, compared, or tracked over time.
How it works
From a pitch-side note to a decision, in three steps
Built so a scout barely changes their routine, and every observation compounds into something a club can act on.
Capture
Ratings and a spoken memo, from a phone at practice or competition. No film crew, any sport.
Structure
Every report lands on the same athlete profile — comparable across staff, months and seasons.
Intelligence
An AI layer turns those reports into assessments, trajectories and plain-language answers.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Sportokol’s Scouting Software
How does the scouting platform work?
In three steps. Scouts record what they see at training or matches from a phone — technical, physical and mental ratings plus a voice memo, spoken pitch-side rather than typed up later. Every report lands in one live database that is comparable and trackable across scouts, months and seasons. An AI layer then turns those reports into player assessments and answers questions about the whole pool in plain language.
Is this software for soccer academies only?
No. Soccer, basketball, tennis and football are live today, with thirteen more sports in development, and the platform is sport-agnostic by architecture — a new sport is configuration, not a rebuild. It is used by clubs and academies, by athletic departments, by agencies managing a roster, by individual scouts, and by federations building nationwide talent infrastructure.
Do we need match video to use it?
No, and that is the point. Youth and grassroots sport is barely filmed, so video-based tools have nothing to work with there. Sportokol captures the scout's own pitch-side observation instead — no film crew, no camera setup.
How does talent tracking work over time?
Every report, note and assessment attaches to the same athlete profile, from a first trial through to a professional contract. That turns scouting from a one-off opinion into a continuous record, which is what catches the late developers that a single snapshot misses.
Does this work across a whole multi-sport athletic department?
That is what it is for. A Division I department sponsors around nineteen sports and the analytics industry serves two of them; the rest are evaluated from memory, notebooks and group chats. One framework covers all of them, applied equally across men's and women's programmes, and the seventeen nobody films are the ones it serves best — nothing here needs video.
How does it help with the transfer portal?
Unlimited transfers since 2024 mean rosters rebuild every year, so every athlete you evaluated and passed on is a target again next season. Because every report attaches to the same athlete profile and stays with the department rather than the coach who wrote it, last year's judgement is still there when the name comes back around — institutional memory instead of individual memory.
How is athlete data handled, especially for minors?
Consent-first by design: explicit, revocable, per-purpose consent. Minors' data is treated as special-category data and governed separately, and nothing is licensed or surveyed without consent for that specific purpose.
